Morgan, the British TV personality who’s a reminder of what happens when you don’t think through the consequences of your words, made a comment about Madonna that many took as being sexist and agist, including Perez Hilton. Quoting the Kanye apologist, Hilton tweeted, “Piers said @Madonna shouldn’t be wearing fishnets and revealing costumes because she’s 56. I said he’s ageist and sexist!”

The celebrity blogger than brought up a very valid point that Cher, who is 12 years older than Madonna, also still looks fantastic in fishnets. Morgan responded with, “She doesn’t.”

She doesn't. > RT @PerezHilton: @piersmorgan Tell that to @Cher! She's 68 and still looks FAB in her fishnets doing moonies! xxxxx

The band has just announced that they are going to reissue it, on cassette, for Record Store Day on April 18. So, yes, you’ll have to find your old tape deck, walkman or boombox to play it.

Happily, the band tells Rolling Stone that they will put out expanded CD and vinyl editions this summer, the first time the collection will be officially released.

No Life ‘Til Leather featured an early version of the band: James Hetfield on guitar and vocals and drummer Lars Ulrich are still, of course, in the band. Bassist Ron McGovney was soon replaced by the late Cliff Burton, and lead guitarist Dave Mustaine was famously fired and was replaced by Kirk Hammett; Mustaine went on to form Megadeth.

He’s a loser, baby, so why do you redirect your entire website to call him one?

That’s the shade currently being thrown at perpetual lighting rod Kanye West, thanks to the web domain loser.com.

Type the site into a web browser and loser.com takes the user straight to West’s Wikipedia page. Wait, what?

Yes, it’s safe the humans behind loser.com are bigger fans of Beck than they are of Kanye West. That would be the most obvious reasoning behind the digital diss, given West pulling a dramatic stage-rush at this year’s Grammy awards to protest Beck winning Album of the Year over Beyoncé‘s favored self-titled release.

The 2009 clip is making the rounds once again after a Reddit user posted it on the social sharing site.

So, after it got posted there lazy journalists around the globe began sharing the footage. Not only that, but some are CONVINCED that this “ghost” is real.

They’re not. But why do people keep holding onto such a notion?

Christopher French of the University of London wrote in the Guardian recently, “Our fear of our own mortality plays an important role in belief in ghosts. Most of us desperately want to believe in life after death – and the idea of ghosts, however scary, seems to offer support for such a notion.”

So go ahead, watch the video. However, understand that there isn’t a ghost at Disneyland. Why? Because ghosts do not exist. That’s it.

Pass the novelty Jell-O. It’s kind of hard to believe, but Better Call Sauljust keeps getting better. Funnier, more quietly devastating at times, and more intriguing. That last part is no small feat especially given the fact that loyal Breaking Bad viewers already know what will happen to two of the series’ lead cast members, Saul aka Jimmy McGill, and his eventual private eye Mike Ehrmantraut. Rather than retreat from that inevitable familiarity, series creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould are cleverly mining it to add more layers of depth to both of these fan favorites in BCS, especially in this week’s episode, “Alpine Shepherd Boy.”

Embodying the “actions have direct consequences” vision of morality that ran throughout Breaking Bad, “Alpine Shepherd Boy” picks up right where last week’s episode left off, just minutes after Jimmy’s electromagnetically-paranoid other brother Chuck braved the outdoors in a space blanket to take his neighbor’s newspaper. I for one thought that the scene ended cleverly enough last week, when Chuck got the newspaper back into his house and punctured Jimmy’s deception by reading about his exploits on the front page. But Gilligan, Gould and Bradley Paul (the other writer credited to this episode) saw an opportunity to extend the drama of the moment by having Chuck’s neighbor call the cops on him.

Of course, Chuck being being both reclusive and lawyerly, tries to shoo the cops away from inside by shouting legal jargon at them through his closed door. But in another brilliant nod to the series’ origins, the cops spot canisters of campfire stove fuel through Chuck’s back window and suspect he’s a meth “tweaker.” In about the worst possible outcome for Chuck given his supposed electromagnetic sensitivity, they bust in and taser him — a scene which the episode craftily cuts away from before we actually see it all go down, making it seem somehow worse in our imaginations.

We then get a laugh-out-loud hilarious series of scenes in which Jimmy pays house calls to potential clients who saw his billboard stunt from last week. Given Jimmy’s luck so far, we shouldn’t be surprised that most of these people are themselves more than a little off-kilter, from Richard “Ricky” Sipes, the wealthy secessionist redneck who wants Jimmy to help him fight the US government but is only willing to pay him in his own worthless “Sandia Republic” currency, to the young father-turned inventor who wants to patent a talking toilet (“Tony the Toilet Buddy”) he built to potty train his kids, which Jimmy notes is oddly sexual in its reinforcements. “Give it to me Chandler, I want it all, Ahhh.”

Jimmy finally winds up at the home of a sweet old lady, Mrs. Strauss, helping her draft a complicated will to bequeath her descendants her most valued possessions: a fantastically large collection of tiny novelty figurines straight out of the “Precious Moments” lineup. Somehow it makes sense that Jimmy would hit it off with this cute old woman, accurately remembering which figure she promised to which relative. When she compliments him by saying he’s not an idiot like other lawyers, he comes back with an especially apt line: “Only half of us are idiots, the other half are crooks.”

We obviously know which category Jimmy falls into. Yet again we see him trying to do right by his troubled older brother. His late night pedicure session with his onetime love interest and friend Kim Wexler gets interrupted when she gets a call that Chuck has been hospitalized. Kim and Jimmy rush to Chuck’s bedside, where Jimmy frantically shuts off all the various electrically equipment in the room that’s been causing Chuck to freak out.

Jimmy and Chuck try to explain Chuck’s condition to the attending doctor and Chuck finally puts a name to it: electromagnetic hypersensitivity. A real but controversial phenomena experienced by a small handful of people, Chuck describes a number of what he says are painful physical symptoms, including a “burning sensation in my skin,” “sharp cold in my bones,” and “vertigo,” — the latter of which has been well depicted in the jaggy cinematography whenever Chuck encounters electrical devices. He and Jimmy both adamantly resist the doctor’s suggestion that Chuck be committed to a psychiatric facility. Yet Dr. Cruz craftily proves that Chuck’s condition is really psychosomatic in origin by turning on his motorized hospital bed without him noticing.

“That was a dirty trick,” Jimmy says to Doctor Cruz when they step outside Chuck’s hospital room. Again, who would know better? Doctor Cruz counters by pointing out that Jimmy is enabling Chuck more than he’s helping him. And when Howard Hamlin, Chuck’s former law partner arrives like the cavalry and tells Jimmy he wants to keep Chuck out of the psych ward in order to avoid having to cash him out of the firm, Jimmy finally seems to come around to the idea that Chuck should be committed.

First though, he takes Chuck back home. And in what will become only the second saddest scene in the episode, we watch as Jimmy clumsily apologizes to Chuck for his billboard stunt, saying the shame he’s caused Chuck is the real root of Chuck’s symptoms (“You got sick cause you saw this story!”) We realize now that Jimmy’s steadfast care for his older brother is motivated not only out of a sense of duty to Chuck for having bailed him out of trouble countless times, but also out of guilt for causing his brother trouble in the first place.

But the theme of the episode, “elder care,” again turns comedic when Jimmy takes his success with Mrs. Strauss and runs with it. He visits in a nursing home dressed like Matlock and shamelessly schmoozes the residents as they down cups of gelatin with his likeness and latest slogan printed on the bottom: “Need a will? Call McGill!” This is perhaps the most Saul-like moment we’ve seen on the show yet, and it’s awesome to see Jimmy developing and refining his trademark sleezy style.

The episode closes with Mike Ehrmantraut, still a parking attendant, getting off his graveyard shift and parking his car outside a suburban home. Is he stalking someone? Spying on them? Playing off our familiarity with his work on Breaking Bad, the writers make us suspect he’s up to no good. But then Doctor Cruz emerges from the house and glares at him from her own car, and Mike’s silent, saddened expression tells us there’s some secret unresolved drama between them. We can’t help but think this must be Mike’s daughter, the mother of the granddaughter he dotes upon later in Bad. But for now, she’s just someone who’s not happy to see him.

A forlorn Mike then returns home and sits alone in front of his TV. Here we realize that despite their so-far contentious relationship, he and Jimmy are actually kindred spirits — both trying to care for their loved ones but falling short, and both solitary and guilt-ridden as a result. Mike’s pitiable moment is interrupted by a knock at the door: the cops and a few plainclothes detectives, one of whom Mike knows and calls out. “You’re a long way from home aren’t you?” Mike asks the man. “You and me both,” the investigator answers. They might be, and so too is Jimmy. But Breaking Bad viewers are right back where they belong.

At the corner of 6th and Wall? You could see it and the Pink Elephant in the same gaze.

Then it moved to the shore of Elliott Bay, atop the new PI building – at the very north end of Myrtle Edwards Park. Then, when the PI went to being an on-line rag only, and they moved out of that space, MOHAI (Museum of History And Industry) decided it would adopt the now homeless ball.

Now, and why I am not sure, MOHAI needs to give up the globe. A home must be found. Word is that it may go to the Sculpture Park, but that is not a solid plan.

One thing is for sure, the globe must stay alive. It really must. It’s too beautiful and full of history.

I don’t know if the International House of Pancakes invented it, but they’re cashing in. Participating restaurants are giving away a free shortstack of buttermilk pancakes to anyone who requests it today. So get in there! Bet you have to pay for your coffee, though.

I really have nothing else to say except that I’m deeply craving pancakes now at this writing. With a fried egg on top. And orange juice, and a cup o’ joe. And real maple syrup. Hold the bacon.

Oh, wait, here’s what I found out on Wikipedia:

Shrove Tuesday (known in some countries as Pancake Day) is a day in February or March, preceding Ash Wednesday (the first day of Lent), which is celebrated in some countries by consuming pancakes.

This moveable festival is determined by Easter. The expression “Shrove Tuesday” comes from the word shrive, meaning “absolve”. Shrove Tuesday is observed by many Christians, including Anglicans, Lutherans, Methodists and Roman Catholics, who “make a special point of self-examination, of considering what wrongs they need to repent, and what amendments of life or areas of spiritual growth they especially need to ask God’s help in dealing with.” Guess God loves pancakes, too!

It’s been a big morning for My Morning Jacket, who marked their return by making three big announcements.

First, the guys are back with their first album in four years. The follow-up to 2011’s Circuital, named The Waterfall, drops May 4 on ATO.

In a statement, frontman Jim James talked about the themes of the new album, which sound rather mature and interstellar.

“What fused this record is, I feel like it’s a weird turning point for the universe. I feel like so many people I know are getting divorced or having kids. There’s so much change going on and I feel like, for me, that one chapter has ended,” he said. “And if you’re looking at a book, there’s a hand flipping the page up and it’s in between the chapter you just finished and the one that’s getting ready to start. That’s kind of the sound of this record, and my life, the sound of the page turning and not being sure what’s coming next.”

With the announcement of the new album, came the big reveal of a new single, “Big Decisions,” which has James asking over a slide guitar, “What do you want me to do? Make all the big decisions for you?” Well, he can’t.

And finally, the band announced they’re hitting the road this summer, kicking things off on May 15 in Athens, GA for a four-month long tour.
